I am going to start off and say that the IBM IntelliStation M Pro was resting on a chair and fell. I know, stupid and I am paying the price. I have tried multiple VIDEO cards to try to get the display to come up, nothing doing. I see that the system powers on and yet no beeping. Hmmm I just...

Hi: Below is an example of "parallel Hz" http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/2427/clocksignalexample8is.gif If each clock signal is 1 Hz, and you have a billion of them, staggered such that every 1ns part of the CPU can start, and finish, an instruction - making the effective 'clock rate' 1 GHz.

The A64 prices were cut in April. From what I can tell, the last time there was any change in the official Opteron pricing was in February. Anyone heard if any price cuts are due? Especially with the new Barcelona/quad Opties due soon... Cheers

I recently was given an old Gateway Athlon 950MHz PC that seems to work fine and I plan on using it as a second, backup PC. I'm curious what is the maximum Athlon this VIA-based mainboard will support? According to CPUz the chipset is a VIA KT133 revision 2 on a mainboard made by Microstar, model...

Hi. I have a couple of identical ECC PC100 memory modules which have been working fine for years, but have recently started playing up. This occurred after my computer had developed a seemingly unrelated fault (I stripped and reassembled it as I've done dozens of times before and then the memory...

Subject header says it all. Can the 4-pin Intel style fan headers draw more current than standard 3-pin fan headers?

In the past I've done lots of embedded flash programming at work, so decided to have a muck about with the flash BIOS in an old Pentium II I've got. The flash is a 1 Mbit (128k x 8) device and I can see a hunk of it in memory at segment F000, but I can't find the other 64K (it's not at E000),...

Hi, I've recently tried to update my BIOS on a Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9, using the @BIOS-tool (ver. 1.20) and the latest (ver. F9) BIOS file offered on their website. After restart, the MB fails to boot (lots of beeping and complaining) finally reverting to the secondary BIOS, which of course is...
